Summary

edit
Description
English: This photograph was given to Lt Cmdr Heyen personally by Turner with his personal inscription. This kind gesture came at the end of a long period of service personally requested by the Admiral. As the American Pacific drive gathered momentum, Lt Cmdr Heyen's role changed to providing more significant and dangerous tasks in the planning and execution of future island landings including: Kwajalein (1 February 1944), Eniwetok (18 February 1944), Saipan (15 June 1944), Tinian (24 July 1944), Peleliu (15 September 1944), Leyte (20 October 1944), Iwo Jima (19 February 1945) and Okinawa (1 April 1945). These tasks involved close inshore pre-landing reconnaissance and acting as First Wave Guide which meant being on the lead landing craft to ensure the first wave of landing craft reached the designated landing area.
